I found this video that is an emotional piece, specifically anger. I hear tension building in a very dramatic way in this piece. I think this composer was having a bad day, and wanted to express it through music.
Assignment 2 Part 1 Questions
Here are my answers to the three questions, in order.
1. When I am angry, I feel very stressed, and I feel lots of energy running through my body. I am very tight, and not relaxed.
2. Anger feels fast, because I want to get on with things. I am very impatient when I am angry.
3. Dynamics for an angry piece would mostly be forte, but at the beginning and end it might be a bit softer. Articulations for an angry piece would include many accents, to emphasize certain points in the piece and to push forte to fortissimo.
(I will present a recording and sheet music of my piece tomorrow, not on my blog.)
